Installing Dual Processors

Installing Dual Processors

When installing a second processor, in models that are supplied with a single processor, make sure that it is of the same type as the first.

The processors are bound to be of the same speed since HP only offers 200 MHz Pentium Pro processors for use in these models.

HP does not support models in which the user has installed non-HP processor kits.

Pentium Pro 200 MHz

256 KB L2 cache

Pentium Pro 200 MHz

256 KB L2 cache

Pentium Pro 200 MHz

256 KB L2 cache

Pentium Pro 200 MHz

512 KB L2 cache

These configurations are correct. A second processor has been fitted, of the same speed and cache memory capacity as the first.

These configurations are wrong. A second processor has been fitted, with a different cache memory capacity than the first.

These configurations will work, but the performance gain is not optimal.
